The paw paw tunnel is a great place for a hike and some history. When you walk through the complete darkness ( bring a flashlight) you can't help but feel amazed at this massive engineering project.

A nice easy walk along the tow path, 10-15 minutes, from parking lot to the tunnel. The tunnel is about .6 mile long and dark, a flashlight is needed! A very interesting historical site!
Cool walk through a completely dark tunnel that is well preserved from the late 1800s! When we came out on the other side there was lots of cool ice formations on the rocks (Feb, 2021).
Take directions to Paw Paw Tunnel trailhead. Easy parking, easy walk to the tunnel (0.47miles). The tunnel is awesome, don't forget your flashlights. Great adventure for the whole family. Beautiful scenery especially now when the leaves are starting to change. The trail is very easy to walk. Keep in mind the tunnel gets a bit cold so maybe wear a light jacket. We also walked down to the Potomac river from the campground which was very nice. Great opportunity to take some pictures and throw some rocks in the water. There are portable toilets are on the campground. No trash cans but bags for trash are provided.
Nice little trail area with restrooms and good views of the potomac. History behind the tunnel and bridge is pretty cool as well as remains of some old buildings. Worth the stop.
